Special to the News. A stranger passing this way last Wednesday night, between the hours of 7.30 and 10 o'clock, might have become alarmed at seeing a large assemblage mov ing quickly and lightly around a camp fire in the meadows, thinking, perhaps, it was an Indian pow-wow in session. But had he calmed his fears and ap proached nearer to the scene, he would have beheld a peaceful and happy community enjoying a candy - pulling, given by Mr. Hubert foster, a prominent young man of this town. The scene was a picturesque one, worthy of an artist's can vas, for the fire, aided by the light from torches of pine, cast a lurid glare upon the company, decidedly weird and fantastic in effect, The young ladies considered it was not a proper occasion for hand-shaking demonstrations, as the condition of their hands, caused by the stickiness of the candy, was likely to place them in many embarrassing situations, so this form of greeting was hastily dispensed with. The affair was a success in every way, the candy-pulling lasting long enough to keep a staff of the dental profession busy for the next six weeks tooth-pulling, but no cases of this kind have as yet been re ported. hews from mm- Special to the News.

Tell me not in broken measures, Modern farming does not pay; For a farm produces chicken, And the hens do they lay ? Eggs are high and going higher And the price is soaring "fast; Every time we get to market It is higher than the last. In the broad and busy farmyard Struts a rooster now and then But the shrewd, bewhiskered farmer Only notices the hen, Trust no rooster, howe'er showy. Be the feathers in his tail; Pay attention to the biddies: And your wealth will never fail. Lives of farmers all remind us, We may roll in wealth someday If we hustle to the market With the eggs the pullets lay. Randolph Bulletin. i rah Tryon 9:15 a. tn. ar. Tryon 6130 p, m. ar.
